Top 10 Celebrities Who Almost Lost Their Life How’s it going YouTube?
I’m Landon and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
There are so many people who were unfortunate enough to have a near death experience.
Since no one is safe from death, there are countless of celebrities who have almost died
as well.
So let’s take a look at the top 10 celebrities who almost lost their life.
Starting us off in at number 10 we are talking about Kanye West.
He almost lost his life in 2002 when he was involved in a terrible head-on car accident.
Kanye West had to have reconstructive surgery and his jaw wired shut.
Actually, this near-fatal experience inspired him to write “Through the wire” which
he recorded only two weeks after the accident and the music video includes real footage
of his wires being removed from his jaw.
Harrison Ford makes it into number 9.
Apparently, he almost died on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
This is ironic because his character Han Solo dies in this movie but as it turns out, Harrison
Ford could have shared the same tragic fate in the final scene.
He was caught beneath the hydraulic door of the Millennium Flacon while he was walking
through the set.
He ended up dislocating his left ankle and breaking both bones in his leg.
Thankfully, an emergency button was pushed before the door crushed him.
I think I smell a law suit here.
And now in at number 8 we have Johnny Depp.
While he was filming the movie “The Rum Diaries” back in 2011, he decided to fly
a small plane with the director which almost cost him his life.
They were in mid-flight when all of a sudden, the engines died.
Apparently, there was complete silence and then Johnny Depp turned to the director and
said “Is this it.”
After falling in mid air, the engines kicked back on and they two of them were saved.
But for a moment there, they both thought they were going to die.
Eminem comes in at number 7.
He admitted that he almost died form a drug overdose in 2007.
His doctor told him that the amount of methadone that he had taken was equivalent to shooting
up four bags of heroin.
He was hospitalized and on the brink of death because his organs were shutting down.
Once he realized how close he was to leaving his children behind, he had a new outlook
on life and went to a detox centre to get clean.
Mark Wahlberg makes an appearance into number 6.
He was actually scheduled to fly on American Airlines flight 11 on September 11, 2001.
He actually decided to change his plans last minute and go to Toronto to attend a film
festival before he went back to Los Angeles.
The plane later crashed into the World Trade Center and if he was on that plane with his
family, he would have surely lost his life.
50 Cent almost died in at number 5.
He had a really rough childhood growing up in Queens, New York.
His mother was a drug dealer and she died when 50 Cent was only 8 years old so he moved
in with his grandmother.
At the age of 12, he began selling drugs and hanging around the wrong crowd.
In 2000, he was in a car when another person shot him nine times at close range.
He was shot in the hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and left cheek.
He is very lucky that the bullets didn’t hit him in any vital organs.
Anne Hathaway comes onto this list in at number 4.
She almost died back in 2014 while she was vacationing in Hawaii.
She was swimming in the ocean when all of a sudden, she got caught in a very powerful
riptide.
Thankfully a surfer heard her screaming and raced out to help her and he was able to bring
her safely into shore.
That must’ve been a very traumatizing event and I wonder if she is scared of swimming
now, I know I would be.
Orlando Bloom flies into number 3.
When he was only 21 years old, he almost died while attempting to climb a rooftop terrace
with some of his friends.
He ended up falling three stories when the drainpipe he was using collapsed and he broke
several vertebrae in his back.
He was actually paralyzed for four days and he went through multiple surgeries and had
18 months of rehab.
George Clooney comes in at number 2.
He almost died when he cracked his skull open while filming a torture scene for the movie
“Syriana.”
He said the pain was so intense, he was unable to move and he had these terrible headaches
that felt like you were having a stroke.
He was referred to a neurologist who discovered that he had fluid leaking in his spine.
He had a two-and-a-half-inch tear in the middle of his back and a half inch tear in his neck.
In order to correct this problem, he had to undergo extremely painful procedures.
Finally coming into number 1 is Leonardo DiCaprio.
He is either the luckiest or unluckiest man alive, but I’ll let you be the judge.
First he almost died while diving in South Africa when a great white shark jumped up
to catch some food and half of his body landed in the cage with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The shark took several attempts to bite of his head but thankfully Leonardo was saved.
Then he was on a plane where the entire wing exploded and he pilot had to turn off all
of the engines and perform an emergency landing.
And finally, he almost died while skydiving when his parachute was too tangled to deploy
and then the secondary parachute was also tangled but the staff member was able to fix
it in the air.
I guess Leonardo must have nine lives or something.
Well there you guys have it…
